Skiing in Canada!
At Friday afternoon Christoph and I took off to Golden. That’s a nice city, approximately 3 hours from Nakusp. Jan lives there at a very crazy place. There is the city, then there is about 20 minutes nothing. And then, in the middle of nowhere up on a small mountain in a forest, there is Jans Cabin. There are a few other cabins and campers and I met Germans there! It is really weird to live there because there is no hot water, no power, no internet, no kitchen, no bathroom. Just a bed and a fire place. So Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner is quite always the same: Sausages ;) Not that bad!
On Friday evening everybody was at the fire place, it’s a really nice community up there! We trunk beer, played games and just talked. And it was so weird to meet Germans at this place! They were from Traunstein. Funny!
After a not so great night we went to Hot Springs on Saturday with a few people from the place. Hot Springs are natural “Heiße Quellen”, where you can go bathing like in a swimming pool. So you go there with your winter jacket and your boots and then sitting there only with Bikini in the water ;) Crazy! This trip took us nearly the whole day so we didn’t do anything others on that day.
On Sunday, Christoph and I went skiing at the Kicking Horse Mountain Resort! Yes, I was skiing in Canada! That was awesome! The last time I was skiing is about 6 or 7 years ago. I really hoped that I had not forgotten everything. Jans Girlfriend Valerie borrowed me her ski equipment which fits perfect! It was so great to be on skis again and it works better than I expected it! Okay I have to admit that Christoph has to wait a lot for me because compared with him I was really slow. But hey – it was the first time again! And we had really much fun!
Because it is the end of the season, there was a “Slush Cup” at the bottom of the ski mountain. There was a huge pool with really cold water. The competitors tried to ski or snowboard over the pool. 90% of them failed and get wet. 😀 Christoph also took part and he was the first who managed it to get over the whole pool! That was awesome!
I had a really great weekend 🙂 Although I can’t image to live full-time at their place “back to the roots” ;) Therefore I love it too much to take a hot shower 😀
